Kao!

Really nothing new to say about Kao's tech, so I won't. Obviously elements of the highest quality.

But....

Presentation! I say the same thing every time he skates. Please, for the love of all that is holy, work just a little bit more on presentation and become unbeatable. Particularly if you are skating to bombastic, this time, real Broadway. Or Broadway films.

I'm tired, I misheard "I lost my Jaguar"

Well the keys will help lol.

 

[CoyoteChris]

Glad I saw him at 4 conts

I sounded off once and I’ll say it again: Miura has no business being here. Hopefully a rule change is in order to prevent this nonsense from happening again.

So the podium speaks Japanese here

If you compete at a senior competition, you can't compete at the junior level again?

Wow Mao is getting the Silver in Men's!! Well done.

Kao, I think that's the best I've seen him perform that B&B program!!
He seems to be expressing more than usual, that's great to see!

Love his sheepish grin when he stepped out of the last loop, he must've known that he's done enough anyway

Kao is the Ilia of last year at Junior worlds someone who is just way better then anyone else and on a different level.

I think most of the others competitors knew going in, that they were skating for a silver medal at best.

Naoki did so well because I left him out of my predictions

How does Kao's score compare to Ilya's from last year?

I think the Junior layout somehow helps both programs of his. Don't know what it is.

So what countries get 3 spots, 2 spots for next yr's Jr Worlds?

 

[yesterday]

How does Kao's score compare to Ilya's from last year?

Ilia
overall 276.11
FS 187.12

so - I don't see the hate towards Kao

 

[YuBluByMe]

How does Kao's score compare to Ilya's from last year?

Ilia scored higher than him in both programs.

 

[CoyoteChris]

Kao POW!!!

 

[el henry]

Well, outlier here, but I have absolutely no problem with Kao skating at Junior Worlds.

He qualifies, he skates. I don't care if he scores 300 in every senior comp prior. How is it fair to change that? That is the joy of the junior men for me, the breadth of age and experience and expertise.

Congrats to the podium!

Hmm Lucas just ahead of Daniel in the FS and US men over all 17 aggregate in placements. Down to two for next year just as with the women.
So best result pairs and then dance and then men and then women. The reverse of the distant past.
